I will not be including themed apps directly in Kinology. However, if requested by someone who creates one, I will gladly link to themed versions from the first post if they are generated from Kinology's base files. In other words, after Kinology 2.0 is released, if the NavBar is updated to use the newest files, I'll happily add a link to it. In fact I'll even package themes into TWRP flashable zips to make life easier.

The sad fact is that I simply don't have the free time to maintain the base OS and themed versions at the same time. The Kinology 7.3.0 update should have been finished ages ago, but alas, there are only so many hours in the day....

Thank you for the detail, psych0phobia!

so, GSAM battery shows wrong with cell radio! I got it.

I will check with Better Battery Stats.

Also I figured out "Amazion Device Client Platform" keeps my KF wake, so I froze it with TB.

I will check the other apps too.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] raggaro5:
Thabks for your great work because u didnt have to do it, u chose to so i completely understand if u r unable to maintain themed packages. Its great that u r willing to point people ib the right direction if they do want a themed package

... if you haven't disabled OTA updates or are not using kinology.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] quan_1986:
But this update had fixed battery power ,only to lose 1 % battery overnight is too good : Good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Don't worry, I'm already working on integrating 7.3.1. Fortunately, it doesn't have a whole lot of changes, so it won't be too bad.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
Great :D Thanks! Where you able to solve the battery drain issue?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Looks like I didn't have to. Amazon apparently fixed it in the newest version.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
Good guy Amazon xD Thanks, so can we assume that the release is coming sooner? (And sorry to bother that much...)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
pray to god that amazon is fixing bugs and not adding more bloatware!

2.0.1 Released

2.0.1 - 2013/04/20:

Updated the base OS to 7.3.1.

2.0 - Not publicly released:

Updated the base OS to 7.3.0.

Host file ad-blocking is no longer enabled by default. If you want this, enable it in the AdAway app that is now included. If you don't, feel free to uninstall AdAway.

The status bar now shows notification icons instead of the "My Kindle" text.

The lowest four brightness settings are now usable.

The menu button on the Navbar should now be present in all non-Amazon apps. Some apps fail to request it, and it sometimes get confused on its own. This change does add a bit of visual clutter but should prevent all of those "where'd the menu go?" moments. Note that Amazon apps will continue to do whatever they want with the Navbar buttons as they tend to crash if they don't get their way.

App suppression has been removed from Amazon's Launcher (Home). This allows you to launch things like Amazon MP3 or the App Store from their icons instead of from the menus. It also allows you to add them to the favorites window.

The certificate fixing process now only happens during Kinology's install process, so apps won't suddenly stop working if they're using generic certs.

Most recent Amazon apps integrated with the system (includes Kindle Free Time).

Gmail, Google Play, and GmsCore updated to the most recent versions.

Completely overhauled the installation process. Boot/Recovery are also now included.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
Damn it x) No update from 1.1... Guess I'll start downloading. Thanks a lot :) Will report back soon
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
It will update from 1.1 fine. However, since just about every file on the base OS has changed, I can't really make a small update.zip like from 1.0 to 1.1. That'll be the case with just about every OS version bump.

In other words, if a new Kinology version changes only Kinology related stuff, a small update zip is possible and will always be provided. However, if the base OS has changed, an update zip would basically contain the entire OS anyway, so it's not really going to save much.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
Yeah I get that :) Is just that my connection is quite slow, so it takes a while to download a full OS. Anyways, thanks a lot for posting this update so soon! Here is night, so i will start the downloads now so that when I wake up i can install. Hope you have a great night, thank you what you've done dude.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] quan_1986:
Many thanks , I downloaded and will be back for the results a few hours later .
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
Everything went fine, updated from 1.1 to 2.0.1. I can confirm that the changes in the OP match what I'm seeing on the device, like the new notification bar and such.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] quan_1986:
First I followed the hashcode here, Install 2nd-bootloader for Custom ROMs on KFireHD 7" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848.

But STEP 4.5 : I use this command:

adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"

Now KFHD7 was in Fastboot mode ( with standard cable )

AND NOW YOU CAN CONTINUE...

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.3.0.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Step 4 - Flash:

Transfer all downloaded zip files to your Kindle's storage

Reboot into TWRP Recovery

Choose "Install"

Select the first zip file you downloaded

Choose "Add More Zips"

Select each zip file you downloaded in order and repeat until all files are queued

Swipe to Confirm Flash

Choose "Reboot System"

Results.....

Thanks Very Much Hashcode ,psych0phobia

i dont want to lose data
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
if kinology remove my data i wont update now, later could be, but i updated my tweaks with the latest kinology version gorr all who want to use them, great kinology version, i know it is exellent, but i m scared of loosing data ! is my softkey bar mod working in this new version ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Read the installation instructions in the first post.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
The following instructions will get you to the latest version of Kinology. Note step 0b carefully - it determines whether you are "upgrading" (dirty-flash) or doing a clean install (wiping user data)!

so if i flash this is like an amazon update ?, i wont lose anything :D ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
Only system data will be lost. Personal data (on sd card) will be not.

Anyways, loving the update :). The status bar icons are great and the tablet is quite smoother I think. Thanks a lot!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
I've added some text to step 0b to try to clarify it a bit.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Shawnsch:
You said facelock is included I can't seem to make it work
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
I just retested it to be sure. It definitely does work. If you're getting "sorry, don't recognize you" a lot, make sure you're in very good light when you set it up. Face unlock really is a bit of a joke... extremely finicky and easy to fool.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
Tested myself too and worked just fine ^^.

By the way, a great addition to the ROM is GMD gesture control. It add gestures like the Ipad (pinch 4 fingers to go home for example). Is quite nice to have and there's a free version. To make it work, make sure that you use this settings:

Overrside Multitouch:

Atmel-touch

Override Touch events:

ICS default

In the free version you have default gestures. Ypu can buy the app and create your own :). Hope someone finds some use out of it

Note: I have nothing to do with this app development. I just found it to be quite useful.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Shawnsch:
Mine just keeps the stock unlock screen and then has me enter my pin

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
For a person who boasts great knowledge of tweaks and themes, I find it surprising you're not accustomed to ROMs and how they work. Whenever you update a ROM by dirty-flashing (flashing the update right over the current ROM), you won't lose anything, not even system data. When you do a clean install, however, you lose everything, except internal SD card storage.

For Kinology, if you already have the 1.1 version or anything earlier, skip step 0. Download the 3 files from step 1, then the next two files from steps 2 and 3, and flash in order through TWRP. If you don't already have Kinology, say you're on the stock Amazon OS, then step 0 would be wise.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] deaftly:
New update runs great, thanks for the fantastic work. Only bug so far is the amazon app store not opening up but I'll live lol
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Aha! Nice catch. I'll look into whether or not that's fixable.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Odd.... Seems to be working for me. I generally launch it daily if for nothing else but to check the free app of the day.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] philhull:
Make sure you haven't installed the update to the Amazon Appstore in the Play Store. If you do it won't open.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
But you can roll back the update, can you not? It's the same for every other app in the Play Store. Or is it like a system thing since you're updating a native system app through another store?

Physical Keyboard issues

I know back on 7.2.3 I could use my physical bluetooth keyboard to switch between recent apps (alt+tab) and the power button worked as a sleep/wake button. In 7.3.0 and forward, however, this doesn't work, including in the 7.3.1 based kinology. Is there any way that these keyboard features could be added back in? Or is that something too deep in the system to do?

Also, I can't seem to get swype to work on the 7.3.1 version. I only see one English keyboard in languages. I've also checked, and the swype apk is installed in the system apps directory.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] philhull:
Yes you can uninstall updates to system apps, and it does work for this because I've done it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Shawnsch:
On mine swype is the one that says English (United states) and normal is English (us) hope this helps
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
My Swype works, I'm running the 1.4 beta. It's at the top of the list in Keyboards. Open up the list, and go to the very top one.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] :
First off, excellent work on Kinology! Love my Kindle because of you ;)

I just wanted to point out that having a lot of notifications in the status bar sometimes overlaps with the time.

Besides that, everything is as smooth as butter :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Yup. I forgot to add that to the known issues list. There's nothing I can easily do about it - I had to disable the overflow notification (circle with a number) completely, or it would randomly show up. You'd have three notifications, and suddenly the overflow number would show up, letting you know that there were in fact three notifications. I found it rather annoying, so ended up disabling it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
If you did a dirty-flash, you may want to try a clean one instead. Swype should work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] kthedude:
Started with the step 0 zip and none of my apps stayed, so it should have been a clean install. Should I try it again?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Key mappings are just text files. Have a look at /system/usr/keylayout and keychars. Unfortunately, there are 78 total files and I couldn't begin to guess which one matches your particular keyboard, or what Amazon might have changed. If you're feeling adventurous, you could probably extract those two folders from the old version and paste the files to yours. I can't say with 100% certainty that these files are actually what would be causing your issue, but I can only offer up this information for your investigation, as I do not have a Bluetooth keyboard to do any kind of testing with.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Actually, if you're up for it, a logcat capture might help me pinpoint what's gone wrong. Send me a PM if you want to try it and need some help with the process. Better to take it off the thread while we're working through it.

This is a Kinology HD using XDA Premium
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
Great Rom!

Hi and thank you for a great rom! :good::good:

Just flashed this rom and it is working very smoothly! It is a breath of fresh air beyond Kindle Fire HD's stock ROM.

It is refreshing to get back to at least some actual customization --after all of the options we had in KFHD1, the KFTT has been such a challenging machine to open up! This makes us appreciate Kinology all that much more!

It's a real milestone for our KFTT! Also, your instructions were excellent and clear --thank you for that!

I noticed you had a routine (step 0) to preserve our apps, but unfortunately, my old habit of always clearing data/factory reset when preparing to change roms kicked in too quickly! I cleared and factory-reset in TWRP before realizing what was coming next! ;-( So that excellent clear-and-backup routine had nothing to clear or save ;-( :p

Thank goodness for Tibu! ;)

So far, I have stepped through everything once, and it is all very enjoyable to see the little touches and changes --including the power button options! Even the Amazon instant video app works (and the BBC app that some had issues with before!).

You've made my KFTT even better! (And the TWRP backups are a peace of mind for me too!) :victory:

Thank you again so much --I know how painfully fussy the Kindle Fire is to "normalize" :)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
I have a question maybe someone can help me with. I was rooted with second bootloader installed, etc. Had last version of KInology installed and running just fine. Went to install the update, and did the downloads. I wiped Dalvic, cache, and system in TWRP, then did step 0b just to be sure I had a clean install. Then I flashed everything in order from steps 1, 2, and 3. Long story short, everything flashed fine, went to reboot and I just kept getting the orange Kindle Fire logo on my screen repeatedly. I then tried to reboot into recovery and bricked my Kindle. Fortunately Amazon is sending me a new one. My question is what did I do wrong or what should I not have done? Never had a problem before.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
Did ypu installed the latest twrp as the OP said?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hi, thanks for the response. I had 2.4.4 installed. That's the correct one right?

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

Just trying to avoid any issues in the future. I was in fastboot and tried to go to Recovery using the Kindle Fire Utility. That's when I bricked my device. It just showed the orange kindle fire logo very briefly, then fastboot screen, then shut off and it wouldn't go beyond that whether I used the factory cable or not. I'm now dounloading the Kubuntu 12.10 and am going to install the soupkit. Is that a safe way to go?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
Thats the one... Weird... then... Something like that happened to me once, though Twrp was still working... I don't have any idea :/
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hmm. Ok, well thanks for the response. Will try Kubuntu with the soupkit then for when I get my new Kindle (get it on Weds). Hoefully I'll have better luck with that.

Sorry for OT, hope development on this ROM continues even with Hashcode's work on CM10. Realley like this ROM and don't think I'm gonna switch :good:

Excellent work, the upgrade went fine, now a word of advice, remember this form the OP:

the first thing you should do once logged in google is to disable auto updates, because it will ruin your amazon mobile app, it happen to me and i flash every thing again to restore the amazon mobile.

psych0phobia: It will be possible to have the original amazon mobile app in a zip to flash in case the market update it? or maybe the apk to restore it?

Tanks for your great work!

I posted a little while back that I bricked my Kindle and just thought I'd report. I got the new one, rooted it and redownloaded Kinology. It's about like I figured. I flubbed the flash which caused my brick, not the ROM. The rom is loaded on my new Kindle and runs great. I can't give enough praise for this rom. Now my dual core Kindle runs faster than my quad core HTC One X. :good: Also very solid, no reboots, no glitches, no bugs at all that I can see.

Don't know what lies in the future for this rom as I'm sure the Amazon OS as a base is a beast to work with, but I must say there is no comparison between the stock OS and this rom. Great work psychophobia and thanks for all the hard work you put in :D:good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] davelinc:
I agree. What Psychophobia did for the amazon OS was what amazon should have done for kindle in the first place. They obviously aspired after Apple's locked down OS and look where that got Apple. In the end they implemented most of the core jailbreaks tweaks that Jailbreakers had been using for months before (I'm thinking wallpapers, folders etc). All that its meant is that a lot of people have migrated away from Amazon and no doubt they've lost a lot of trade because of it. I'm using hashcodes ROM now but mostly because I like the jellybean experience. Psychophobia struck the first blow for customization.

CyanogenFire HD7
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Well, I would'n completely dump on Amazon. I think they do have a really solid tablet for the money (they are selling it below cost, and it will probably last forever just like the Kindle e-readers as long as I don't do something stupid and brick it again:p)). I just think they butchered the android experience, that's the only thing I wish they hadn't messed with so much. Really glad that various devs were able to crack into them and Psychophobia was able to provide us with this rom. Couldn't imagine still being on stock OS after running Kinology.
